A Stress Measurement Method for Steel Strands Based on LC Oscillation
The prestress loss is one of the main factors affecting the safety of prestressed concrete structure. While the detecting signals like sound and light are difficult to spread in steel strands, there is no effective method for prestress detection of the ...

The influence of prestress losses on the anchorage zone of prestressed concrete member
Article briefly discusses the factors affecting bond between concrete and reinforcement of prestressed concrete member. Behavior of prestressed concrete member during release of reinforcement is discussed. Comparative analysis of equations, which describes relation between strand draw-in and transfer length, is presented.
